STARTRADER is expanding access to US equities with the launch of 85 stock contracts for difference (CFDs), including a new 24/7 trading offering designed to let traders react to market-moving events outside traditional exchange hours.
The broker announced the immediate availability of 42 new 24/5 US Stock CFDs and confirmed that 43 additional 24/7 US Stock CFDs will go live on 27 July 2026. Together, the expanded lineup gives clients access to some of the world’s most actively traded companies across technology, finance, healthcare, industrials, aerospace, and energy.
The move reflects a growing industry trend toward extended-hours trading as investors seek greater flexibility in increasingly global and around-the-clock financial markets.
Trading Beyond Wall Street’s Opening Bell
Traditional US stock exchanges operate during fixed market hours, leaving investors unable to respond immediately to major news released overnight or during weekends.
STARTRADER’s new 24/7 Stock CFD offering aims to address that limitation by allowing trading from Monday through Sunday, 00:00–24:00 (GMT+3 platform time).
The expanded product lineup includes CFDs linked to many of the market’s largest companies, including NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, AMD, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla, Palantir, JPMorgan, Visa, Circle Internet Group, and AST SpaceMobile.
By extending trading availability beyond standard market sessions, traders can potentially react faster to earnings announcements, geopolitical developments, macroeconomic events, and company-specific news that often breaks outside regular exchange hours.
24/5 Range Broadens Sector Coverage
Alongside the weekend trading rollout, STARTRADER has introduced 42 additional 24/5 US Stock CFDs covering companies across multiple industries.
The expanded selection includes names such as Boeing, Mastercard, Palo Alto Networks, and SpaceX-related instruments, providing exposure to sectors including aerospace, cybersecurity, defence, financial services, healthcare, and industrials.
The broader product range reflects growing investor demand for thematic trading opportunities tied to long-term trends such as artificial intelligence, semiconductor growth, digital payments, cybersecurity, and defence modernization.
Meeting Demand for Around-the-Clock Markets
STARTRADER says the launch is designed to match how modern investors increasingly engage with global markets.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Karsten noted that clients now consume financial news across multiple time zones and frequently make trading decisions outside traditional market hours, making continuous market access an increasingly valuable feature.
The announcement comes as brokers worldwide compete by extending trading windows and expanding product availability. Several retail trading platforms have introduced overnight and weekend trading capabilities in response to rising demand from both retail and professional investors.
For CFD providers, extended trading also reflects the reality that market sentiment is increasingly shaped by global events rather than the operating hours of a single exchange.
Why It Matters
Financial markets are becoming increasingly continuous, with economic announcements, corporate earnings, geopolitical developments, and technology news frequently emerging outside standard trading sessions.
By introducing 24/7 US Stock CFDs, STARTRADER joins a broader industry movement aimed at giving traders greater flexibility to manage positions whenever significant events occur.
While extended-hours trading offers more opportunities to respond to breaking news, it can also expose traders to higher volatility, wider spreads, and increased market risk. As with all CFD products, investors should carefully assess the risks before trading, as leveraged instruments can amplify both gains and losses.
For active traders seeking around-the-clock access to US equities, however, the expansion represents another step toward a market that increasingly operates on a global, always-on schedule.
